I'm getting started on load development for a new 9.3x62. I have located some OK brass and cheap bullets to get zeroed and acquainted with the gun. But I will quickly need to see if I can find some better brass and hunting bullets like A-Frames, Woodleighs, North Forks or the like. Even small quantities would be helpful at this stage as I try and discover the best option for my rifle. I look forward to hearing what you've got!
Thanks,
Gary
 
Raven Rock Precision who is a forum sponsor has Norma brass right now.
Thank You, I actually bought some of those this morning, just hoping I might be able to upgrade a bit if possible but I won't be disappointed if I end up with the Normas.
 
Bullets aren't an issue. Nosler, Barnes, A Square and Hornady but only for Plains Game. Brass is tough to find . But Norma and Nosler are available.

What do you think of 300gr Hornady DGS?
Seem like they would punch a hole through just about anything but a solid in 9.3 just seems a little weird.
 
Not weird. I have a supply of both Norma 275 grain solid and Federal 286 grain Hydro factory ammo.

However, what is weird is Hornady cataloging a 300 grain DGS, but not a 300 grain DGX Bonded.

That’s true.
A 300gr DGX would be more useful overall where the solid is a pretty specific niche.
 
I always load a soft in the chamber and solids in the mag for hunting Africa. A flanking shot on a big animal needs a solid from my experience.
 
North Fork has both the 286 gr Cup Point solid and Flat point solid in stock now. The cup points are drivers with a very good wound channel since they expand slightly.
 
Nosler has 9.3 250 accubonds available now on the seconds tab. Also available as firsts at midway and a couple other places. Lapua brass is the best I have tried, and midway and europtics has it in stock now. I used 286 Aframes the first time I took mine to Africa, and also Norma 232oryx on smallish stuff. Last year I used 286 partitions and was very happy with them. I just hope they do a run of them soon!!
 
For 9.3 Mauser these days I first check Raven Rock, then Grafs.
I do too and most everything but privi and hornady in bullets and norma brass were out of stock so I bought a little of each.

Those are awesome, I had a box of both plus the soft for my 375 which I just sold.
